Our primary objective as a PTA is to provide our school with funds, programs, resources, and services that will enrich and maximize the education and well-being of every child and to benefit the school. To meet this important objective, we fundraise. Perhaps you’ve heard about our group through various fundraising activities or the supplies and programs we financially support at school. Providing these extras is important to us, but our work goes beyond raising money.
